7:18 pm
they might taste like roaches at that point. >> hmm. >> yeah. after a nuclear blast, you know. >> right. >> you wouldn't want it. >> no, probably not. but if that is all you have. >> you would drink right now. >> you would be happy. all right, 75 was the high today. a little below average. but no complaints in the weather office. >> i didn't hear any. >> no, no one complained today. and they said just a few minutes ago. check out this live shot as you look at it carefully, you can see the pink clouds. they look very nice. that's our weather cam. we're looking at temperatures, around 70 downtown. but most look in the 60s. dew point at this time yesterday, they were in the 40s with a lot of our burps got into the 40s for the lows. tonight they are in the 50s. won't be as cold or chilly, but they will be cool. winds are southeast at 10. pressure, they are up just a little bit. 0.08 inches of mercury. satellite picture radar combined. we'll show you a frontal boundary that looks close to us. but they won't get through here on saturday night. not a lot of moisture with it.

7:20 pm
fantastic. mostly sunny, pleasant. a cool, but not a chilly start. temperatures it in the 50s and the 60s. by the afternoon, a great day. i mean partly cloudy, a little breezy, yes, but pleasantly warm. high temperatures in the lower 80s. winds are out of the southeast at about 10 to 15. all right, we'll check out the zone forecast. remember all six zones are available on our website, wusa9.com. 72 in oakland. 78 in cumberland. we're looking at temperatures near 80 in hagerstown and winchester under partly cloudy skies. low 80s for sure. right around 80 in warrenton, leesburg, manassas, and towards fairfax. downtown, we're looking at temperatures in the lower 80s. 80s for annapolis. not a small craft advisory. but i'll tell you what, it will become breezy tomorrow afternoon. all right next three days. code green. green and green. 81 for you tomorrow. just great. and even on saturday, it will be great. some clouds will be coming in late. maybe a shower on saturday night, but the day will be fine. 84 for the high and then first full day of fall on sunday,

7:22 pm
while he seems to be stopping sort of the kill me now, he does seem to wish that his feet were on somebody else at this moment. look at that. >> i don't like them. not nice. >> no. >> not nice. >> and now he's on youtube. >> right. >> he's a star. [ laughter ]

in the mail bag tonight, mitt romney and his comments, regarding the 47% of american voters, who will never vote for them. that's what they said. it is the gift that keeps on giving. but they say maybe it ought not to be. this is just the obama that you
7:26 pm
didn't make the unscripted mark. there will be ers to both sides. they hope that they will focus on the role of the government and what it will be and less on what will come out of the candidate's mouths with the absolute right to win. well, no right to win, michelle. you have a point. but that's the problem. these days everything the candidates say will be so scripted and focus grew tested that when they do say something off message, we hold on to it pretty tightly, believing rightly or not that that is how they really feel. in the meantime, he has his own personal breakdown of that 47% that romney says is unpersuadable. simple, a, african american voters at 90% democrats. b, hispanic voters at 58% democrat. and c, jewish voters, right here. if that does not make up the 47%, then let's add some of the 49.7% of the households that paid no federal income tax in 2011. that should make up any slack in the numbers. you know i'm not sure about
7:27 pm
those numbers, but we'll tell you spot on. what? what do you mean by that? romney doesn't do too well with the minority voters. that's certainly true. even though that i'm not quite sure why you're bringing it up. perhaps you'll drop me a line and explain it further. the address is malbag@wusa9.com. don't forget your name and where you're writing us from. i'll be right back here at 11:00 along with anita and topper. have a great evening. we'll see you later. bye.
